she had her aipac conference.f the meetings i had when i was on the east coast was in the secretary's office with water for foreign policy advisers who said they really need our help and following up the aipac conference with a non- governmental women's. we are pretty sure we will have a world conference on women. and xtech is to hold it here in san francisco. -- the next step is to hold it here in san francisco. [applause] we have these buttons. you need to be wearing these. thank you for coming, thank you to shelley for putting this together for us. thank you for helping to take women globally and giving them a voice. that is our mission. [applause] >> we have to keep that spirit -- and we had to keep that secret for a long time. like a lot of you, she would rather be on vacation, but she is up doing work, even when she is not feeling well. thank you all for coming. i posted on facebook i would probably sound like they'd been a downer with all the statistics, could you send me some of your favorites of lifting s

that's what aipac gives. the one final players will we might call a generic 527, as ken said super pac is a form of 527, aipac, a generic 527, talked about in 2004 is a group that spends money on issue ads that sound a lot like political ads by technically don't advocate the election or any can do. the reason i mention this is if groups were not defined as 501(c) fours, it's not like the witnesses shall have to go out of business, they would just become 527s and he does think it would report their donors to the irs. >> i think with officially lost 87.3% of the audience. >> i do also, i do think this is the conundrum we face. we are all serious about it. people to come out in manhattan on a weeknight, a school night to hear things that they don't care about. everyone who cares about it but it's so hard to explain. i think we're doing a great job but you have some limitations. this is a question i don't know whether or not we can answer but perhaps. give us your best estimate, total amount of never reported con

and that's why the aipac case ended up getting dismissed.f the. we can speak about that with hunter.so in conclusion, in a post 9/11 world where there's just a lot of national secure the operational, there are a lot of nation is a good operations going on all of the world there's been intensity through our operation. is in need for confidentiality and the need to keep secrets. there's also a need to strike that balance, and the balance between transparency and secrecy. and the government struck it is certainly, and i think it's important we keep sort of scrutinizing that balance, to see is calibrated right. that's what i think these kind of forums are good. they are a good way to scrutinize that balance and make sure that the government is on the right path. thanks. >> thank you. judge. >> i too thank for him and karen for this conference, and for asking me. i was a little surprised to be invited into i realized that there aren't any judges who will talk because they are still on the bench. but since i'm not on the bench any longer people th

we have now finally seen some relief on the oil prices coming down because of aipac, because of china. these are not good reasons that oil prices are coming down, keep in mind. but they are causing the price of crude to come down. that will impact gasoline prices going forward. i expect to see gasoline at $3.60 to $3.75 a gallon by year end. i predicted $3 a gallon gas earlier this year before isaac and before the issues we've seen in california and the bay town exxon fire we had on wednesday. all of these things are again moving targets. so i don't think exxon and chevron are out there saying let's hold back refinery capacity and run the price of gasoline up. reality is supplies are tight, refinery capacity is tight. there's been no investment in refinery since the '70s in this country. we need to have more refinery capacity so we can take hiccups like california and keep in stride. reality is pipelines go down, refineries have issues, they go into maintenance mode and we have no overhead in this country. that's not going to be fixed today. >> that's a great point on refineries. thes

i left that neo-con party that's controlled by aipac and the concern. [inaudible] lobby and adl and all that. and, you know, you are right on on all the issues and especially on the war. and i do commend you. my question to you and, also, i want to tell you about you can look up on my friend's page u.s. hijack.com, you'll see all these articles like by phil giraldi who used to work, i think, for ronald reagan, but i just want to tell you -- ask you is there a way, are you doing anything to get into the debate cycle with obama and romney? >> host: we had a similar question, governor johnson, via twitter. what do you say? >> guest: well, right now i'm excluded from the first debate. the commission that determines who gets in the debates is the presidential debate commission, and guess what? the presidential debate commission is private, and they're made up of republicans and democrats with absolutely no interest whatsoever in seeing a third voice on stage. we have filed three lawsuits to get me on stage based on other third-party candidates who have filed

they don't look up morrison, they don't look up the aipac decision by judge ellis. they're motivated by other things. they don't do that. and you look over "the new york times" over the last few days, leaks about libya and so forth, isn't david right that leaking continues on apace? >> yes, absolutely. i mean, you know, and i wouldn't even call it leaking. i would just say that it's the normal business of government, you know, explaining things to the press or through the press to the people. you know, leak always makes it sound like there's something illicit about it, whereas i think it's sort of the foundation of the way our country operates. but i have to say and i think most of my colleagues would support this, there have been several instances where we and others, other reporters have made a determined effort to find out certain things, and five years ago we think we might have been able to find it out, and now we've had real trouble. and i'll just give you one example. there's something called section 215 of the patriot act which probably everybody here knows

the congress is a lagging indicator, still rolling out aipac-sponsored resolutions by the margins everyone is familiar with. but one day the glass northeast will penetrate -- glasnost will penetrate up here as well. what relevance does this have for the next president? unfortunately, i fear not very much. i won't say much about mitt romney. i would love to be proven wrong, but on the basis of his public statements, his private comments which have become public and his choice of foreign policy advisers, i believe there's no chance he will become engaged in restarting a genuine peace process. obama is a different matter. he clearly wants a palestinian state. he was decisively rebuked in the first year and a half of his administration. he couldn't persuade israel to carry out a settlement freeze, much less withdraw from territory. could next year be different? i've fallen into the camp of those who now think the time for a two-state solution has probably passed. i believe israeli settlements on the west bank have precluded the possibility. there are too many settlers armed and intensely commi
